Exactly how does driving against one-way traffic not put people’s lives at risk?
Or do you want the government to wait until someone is killed before enforcing laws?!

Firstly, you deliberately ignored the fact that they didn't place a conspicuous road sign. At least the government should help law-abiding citizens to abide by the law. It's criminal and inhumane to deliberately hide road signs or make them inconspicuous just to extort road users.

Secondly, the road was a street and the highest you could travel is 30km/hr. In addition, the road wasn't good so there's no way anyone's life was at risk.

As much as I like Lagos and Gov. Sanwo, the fact still has to be said when due. This was a barbaric act.

Of course, cars can always breakdown…
But when that happens they should be towed OFF the road.

You are putting other road users lives at risk…
And bet each of you know you could not get away with that in any remotely civilized country.

TBH, your arguments are nauseating, to say the least. You seem to think this thread is anti Lagos/APC. But no, it isn't. So, stop forcing what isn't. Please.

Dude, I don’t give a rat’s arse about your LOCAL (and largely primordial) partisan politics…
I am pro-human lives and anti-dangerous driving, and it’s “nauseating” you think people shouldn’t obey traffic laws. SMDH

Nigerians and “my own is different” mentality…
You broke the law and you’re forming indignation.

If you were abroad would you drive against one-way traffic?
But you folks turn Nigeria into a country of ANYHOWNESS and then wail about “jungle”!

If Nigeria can be termed a “jungle”…
It’s only because Nigerians act like ANIMALS! SMDH!!

Do you have sense at all? A double lane that is been plied consistently, and suddenly a law came that from 3pm it's now one way. You are here talking trash. Go to develop countries and see how laws are been implemented.

Did you read the part that said no (conspicuous) road sign?

The developed countries you're shouting don't set crime baits for their citizens. That act is a crime in itself!

Also, developed countries don't try to kill their citizens for a traffic offence. They don't hire hooligans and hoodlums to do tasks that require professionalism.

As if we have not been to civilised countries before, will they tow you off and ask you to pay a crazy fine?
